What people say about Mark N.
September 2026
Mark is clearly a vey able and experienced driver who is able to communicate those skills to others. His manner is relaxed with a way of putting things across which emphasises improvement rather than criticism.
It was very enjoyable and motivational to be instructed by Mark

I wasn’t sure of how the day would pan out and what I would achieve, as my motivation was to reconnect with the freedom and pleasure of driving but being cognisant of all the many challenges presented on the road today. Well, I needn’t have had any concerns Mark immediately put me at ease. His personable approach and obvious wealth of knowledge and experience shone through like a laser beam. He has a very subtle and natural style of imparting his knowledge and at the same time helping me hone and improve my driving, where needed, and understand how the roads and surrounding areas can give information and clues that can be interpreted to allow a safer driving environment for all road users. Marks report following our session was excellent and highlighted all the saliant points of the day, plus any areas to develop.
